Cereal Bowl, 14 cm

The everyday one. Deep enough for cereal with milk, soup at lunch or a heap of rice, and light enough that a child can carry it to the table without a wobble.

It is the bowl we would buy four of first. The steel will not shatter if it goes off the counter, though the enamel can chip where it lands.

Every piece is pressed from one sheet of steel and coated in glass enamel fired at around 800 °C, so no two are identical: expect a dark speck or two at the rim edge, slight waves in the glaze and the odd pinhole. Those are part of how enamel is made, not faults.

Care

Dishwasher-safe, though washing by hand keeps the gloss longer. Dry it rather than leaving it to drain if the rim has taken a knock: where enamel chips, the steel underneath can rust. Not for the microwave. More on the Care & Materials page.
